While the Cugnot was surely the first front wheel drive vehicle, three others, Americans at that, were early pioneers. George Seldon of the patent fame, designed a front wheel drive with transverse en

Steve's firing squad joke is very funny but being a life long language person I wonder if it was actually translatable into Russian. The word "fire" in English can mean a conflagration warning as well

This should increase the value of Kens Crown Super Coach. You don't see these even in Madison County! Dick Tuttle

I don't know if they look at right and left dipping headlights. Probably depends on how picky they get. There used to be center dip headlights for folks who crossed the channel a lot. Don't know if an

I got pulled over by the Santa Clara Police who thought my then 10 year old grandson was driving the Peel Trident. Officer apologized and we had a good laugh.

My favorite "fix" for the 12 ton press is to step up for the 12 ton air jack and rig up a foot pedal to operate it. This allows both hands to be used for making setups, and the speed and pressure is t
